New member here. Picked up my Ranger on December 1st, figured I might as well log what I do with it.
Some quick info about me:
Have owned, raced and built many cars and a few trucks over the past twenty years. Most of which were drag oriented builds as well as a couple road course cars and one rallycross build. Pretty much every platform; Silverado, Subarus, Mustangs, S-10s, G8, CTS-V, Trailblazer, Fiesta ST, MR2, even built a Volvo 245 at one point.
Most of them were turbo LS builds of varying intensity.
Earlier this year I ended up selling all of my fleet as I have lost my passion for racing. My son and I both are starting to do a lot of camping as he is VERY outdoorsy and I wanted to build something I could daily in the midwest as well as enjoy on the trails and do some overlanding along with my son.
I had my eye on Rangers for about two years since my buddy bought one, but had very specific wants. A few months ago I went to order one and was told the build time would be over a year. I set the idea aside and actually started shopping for FJ Cruisers. On December 1st I happened to be driving by my local small town dealer and found they had EXACTLY what I was looking for. Truck was used, CPO, all service records and obviously a clean Carfax. Great shape with only a couple small chips in the bumper that had been filled.
Details at the time of purchase:
2021 Ranger SuperCrew XLT 4x4
302A
Black Appearance Package
Locking Rear Diff
Technology Package
21,420 Miles
I paid $30k for it, which given the current market I was more than happy with. I also was given full book on my trade, so overall an easy deal.
Few pics of it as I purchased it:
I got lucky and found a new engine cover in stock locally and purchased it. I also have a set of Morimoto XBs that I plan to install this weekend as well.
Truck will get with Fox 2.0s, wheels, tires and likely bolt-ons with a tune. I will also end up doing some exterior odds and ends, but nothing too crazy.
